1. CCRN test: how bad is it really?

   sprtnbsblplya replied to farmerrl's topic in MICU

   Just got back from taking the CCRN this morning, it wasn't that bad. The little green book by Vonfrolio with 1200 Q&A review had much harder questions in it than the actual test, which is what made it such a good review. Definitely know your car...

2. GRE not required...

   sprtnbsblplya replied to APNgonnabe's topic in SRNA

   Where did you hear that Duke does not require a GRE? I looked all over their applicant pages and only saw mention that the GRE is required, no note on GPA affecting that requirement. Also, I believe St. Raphael's in CT does not require a GRE, my cowo...

   Can anyone share what the interview experience was like at MWU? I am in the process of completing my application for the June 01, 2009 deadline for the following academic year and would like to have an idea of what to expect.

4. What type of laptop pc do you use?

   sprtnbsblplya replied to rn2bn07's topic in General Students

   I used a 14.1" T61 laptop from Lenovo. Built like a tank, super lightweight so it can be tossed into a backpack and taken around campus or to the hospitals with you. Its faster than most desktops out there too, but Thinkpads will run you a bit more t...

5. Recommend me a SATA/alternative question resource?

   sprtnbsblplya posted a topic in NCLEX

   I have the Saunders Comprehensive Review that I am mostly using. I also have the Kaplan NCLEX-RN review book, but man, they seem a lot easier than the Saunders and Lippincott's books. Overall, I have noticed that most questions are multiple choice/s...

7. Seattle area internships for students

   I've heard excellent things about it. No wonder not that many people knew about it, I imagine it will get much more competitive as people find out about it.

   Was it a very competitive internship to get? Sure didnt seem that way, and nobody at ICN knew about it besides me, not even the professors.

    I live just south of Seattle during the summers and wanted to know if any of you know of a hospital that provides paid internships for nursing students getting their BSN.

12. Opinions on Washington state universtiy online

    sprtnbsblplya replied to ann945n's topic in Washington

    I'm not sure who told you they dont have enough applicants to fill their spots, I go to school there and our faculty told us they had almost 800 applicants for their limited ~120-130 spots. So no, getting in there is not a cakewalk. They take however...

    sprtnbsblplya replied to ann945n's topic in Washington

    I attend ICN at the main campus and I can tell you we receive much more attention and encouragement from faculty than the off-site students. You only get lectures through video feeds that suffer from poor connection problems and it generally seems as...

14. What else should I do to prepare?

    sprtnbsblplya posted a topic in SRNA

    I am a nursing student working on my BSN currently at WSU-Spokane. Once finished with my BSN I am hoping to start in an ICU and begin gaining experience to apply for CRNA school. I am curious what else I should do as an undergrad to distinguish mysel...
